Chapter 29- the big day is finally here! Hope you like it!


The sight was breathtaking. Babylon was almost unrecognizable from it's former state of damage and rubble. The building was remodeled to accommodate a room for the ceremony and a separate room for the reception. For the ceremony, the walls were painted a light green against dark oak wood floors. In the center of the ceiling, a large glass chandelier hung, the lights reflecting off the diamonds that were attached. Rows of black, padded chairs crowded the floor, leaving a long aisle in the middle of the room. Along every row of chairs along the aisle were golden gardenias leading to a white archway decorated in all sorts of flowers.

The reception hall was quite the opposite of the beautiful and subtle design as the ceremony room. Brian and Justin agreed that Justin would design the room for the ceremony and Brian could design the reception hall. To no ones surprise, this room was an exact replica of the old Babylon club complete with dance floor and bar.

The guests were beginning to filter in and fill the room. Emmett, dressed in the most formal drag for his part as maid of honor, scrambled to make sure that everything was in order and ready for the ceremony.

"Hello Emmett," Jennifer said giving him a hug.

"Oh Jennifer, hello."

"Wow this is beautiful and you-what an outfit."

Emmett twirled around and bowed. "Why thank you."

"You remember Tucker," Jennifer said, motioning over to her now boyfriend of almost a year. Emmett and Tucker shook hands. "And this of course is my daughter Molly." Molly waved and smiled politely.

"Of course, hello, hello." Emmett replied.

"So, any chance I can see the groom before this starts?"

Emmett laughed. "Right this way."

Before they left, Jennifer turned around to Tucker and said "you two go ahead and get our seats, I'll be back in a few."


"Well I'll be damned." Brian said while fixing his tie. He looked at Justin who stood in front of a floor length mirror, smoothing out his tux.

Justin turned around and smiled happily. "What?"

"You look beautiful," Brian said, giving Justin a quick kiss.

"Stop, you're just saying that," Justin gushed.

"I'm serious. I have never seen anything more beautiful in my life."

Justin laughed. "Brian, you've seen me naked."

Brian smirked and put his hands on Justin's shoulders. He looked him straight in the eye as he said, "you look just as beautiful with or without clothes on."

Justin beamed and cupped Brian's face. "I love you so much. Now, are you sure you want to go through with this?"

Brian pulled back. "I've never been more sure. So, I guess you're stuck with me for life."

The two men smiled and shared a kiss before they heard a knock on the door.

"Come in," Justin said.

Emmett pranced into the room. "You boys look stunning."

"Thanks Em," Justin said.

"I have a surprise for you," Emmett said with a grin.

Jennifer walked into the room and immediately put her hand over mouth. "Holy shit. Look at you!" She walked over to Justin and gave him a tight squeeze. She began to tear up but before the tears fell, Emmett shoved a tissue in her face. "Don't want to ruin your make up. Well, I must be going boys. Fifteen minutes."

As Emmett left the room, Jennifer blotted her eyes. "Oh, I'm sorry. I just can't believe this is actually happening."

"It's okay mom, really." Justin patted her back.

Brian cleared his throat. "I'm going to meet Michael and Linz. See you soon." He winked and stepped out of the room, leaving Justin and Jennifer alone.

"Gosh, it's just so wonderful. I'm so happy for you sweetie." Jennifer dabbed the tissue against her eyes once more.

"Thanks mom. You don't know how much this means to me," Justin said taking his mother's hands. "And I've decided," he took a small pause to fully grab Jennifer's attention, "that you can have the first dance with me after Brian."

More tears swelled up in Jennifer's eyes. "Oh Justin, thank you so much." She pulled Justin in for another hug.

Still in the embrace, Justin started to speak. "No mom, thank you. For everything. I mean, you've always been there for me and I know it took me a while to see that you always had my best interests in mind, but I truly don't know what I would do without you."

"Justin, I love you too. I am so proud to call you my son." This made Justin start to tear up as well. "Okay, we should stop. No more tears. This is a happy day."

Jennifer stared at her son with a smile. "What?" Justin asked with a laugh.

"Nothing, I just realized why Debbie calls you sunshine."


Michael was in the designated lobby area with Lindsay and Gus, when Brian walked over.

"Daddy!" Gus exclaimed as he ran over and hugged Brian's legs. Brian picked him up and walked over to Michael and Lindsay. "Hey sonnyboy, looking sharp." He tapped Gus on the nose, making Gus giggle. "As do the best man and best muncher."

Lindsay laughed. "Oh Brian, I see not even the thrill of marriage can interrupt your sarcastic ways."

"Brian? Sarcastic?" Michael teased.

"And this, is why my dear pal Mikey, gets to be the best muncher."

"Very funny Brian," Michael said with a slight pout.

"Okay, places people," Emmett said, rushing over. "Michael, Linz, to the front please."

"That's our cue," Lindsay said. Brian put Gus down and patted his head.

"You ready Gus?" Brian asked. Gus nodded and took Lindsay's hand. The two walked away and headed to the front of the room. Michael stayed behind and gave Brian a quick kiss.

"What was that for?" Brian asked.

"That was for really coming around." Michael patted Brian on the back and left him to follow Lindsay and Gus.

"There you are," Justin said, coming up behind Brian with Jennifer, their hands interlocked.

"Here I am," Brian replied.

"Alright, I should go take my seat," Jennifer said, giving Justin's hand one last squeeze before leaving.

Then it was just Brian and Justin. Justin took a breath in and slowly let the air out. The music had started and the guests stood up. Without looking at Justin, Brian held out his hand for Justin to hold. Time seemed to slow down to almost a stop as they walked down the aisle.

Showtime.
